Michael Cromheecke has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11788911
    Abstract: For estimating motor torque and velocity, a method estimates a velocity profile for a motor based on line-to-line voltages and phase currents for the motor. The velocity profile is estimated without a position input and a velocity input. The method further estimates a torque profile for the motor based on the line-to-line voltages, the phase currents, and a time interval of the velocity profile of motor velocities greater than a velocity threshold, and wherein the motor is operating over the time interval.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20210241202
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for monitoring a client device. An agent is configured to monitor a dynamic, user-defined set of key performance indicators by periodically polling the client device and generate messages including an aggregate value for a key performance indicator over a predefined period of time, and an identifier associated with the client device. A transaction manager accepts messages from the agent, provides a confirmation message to the agent indicating receipt of each message, and records the messages in a distributed ledger.
